As someone who has experience working in the Build Engine (Made a bunch of Duke3D maps back in the day), I am INSANELY impressed of the devs achieving such a stable and polished game within this engine.

Not to mention the insane amount of talent behind the design of the levels.
These levels feel PROPER old school, with tons, and I mean TONS of exploration potential and hidden secrets to find, all within super believable areas with amazing set pieces.

Weapons are great and offer plenty of variety, music is great, protagonist has entertaining one-liners.

If you're a fan of any of the old Build Engine games (Duke3D, Blood, Shadow Warriorr), then this is an absolute MUST PLAY.

Amazing throwback with some modern stuff mixed in, which I found very fun!

Incredible level design, really fun to play and a real challenge too, once you play on Maximum Fury difficulty.

I do think they went overboard with the secrets, wish they were easier or have some hints to find them myself. I had to rely on guides a lot for many of these secrets.

Final Boss Fight is just NUTS, I can't decide if it's so tough intentionally, or just badly designed!

And - the voice actor of Shelly did an amazing job. Believable, tough, seasoned, not over the top, it just fits incredibly well, you can tell it was voiced with heart and attention to detail.

Overall, this game is INCREDIBLE! I absolutely love it and will get Aftershock DLC went it goes on sale!

Big, beautiful, satisfying, challenging, old-style shooting game
